>>okay thanks for everything, for the most part i got an idea of what im going to be doing.
You're welcome. Let me know if you need anymore help with a cut list, etc.
>>only think im still wondering is how do i staple the pvc sheet to the wood?
No, sorry I did not explain that better. You'll be building the cage carcass from 3/4" material. Without a wooden floor you'll have a 3/4" rim all around the bottom of the cage.
You'll be stapeling through the PVC and into the sides, back, and face frame of the cage.
If you're not comfortable with this design there's no problem with using a solid floor. It will likely require you to buy another full sheet of material, though, and the cage will be heavier.
If I were building a single 6' cage for a burmese I'd go with the floor less design. But that does not mean it's the best way.
Also, the floor is the area needing the best protection. PVC for the walls, etc. is not absolutely necessary. I'd probably just use rubberized contact paper for that.
I suggest you go to Finegtps.com and look at the cage building pages. I'm basically recommending a larger version of this cage but without a wooden floor.
